As nouns the difference between turbojet and ramjet
is that turbojet is a jet engine that develops thrust solely from high-speed exhaust gases expelled from a turbine that drives a compressor while ramjet is (aviation) a jet engine in which forward motion forces air into an inlet, compressing it (as opposed to having a pump type device compressing the air for combustion with fuel), and where combustion is subsonic.
